The heritage-listed Fitzroy Gardens were originally set aside as a reserve in 1848. The landscape is diverse and layered, following a classic Victorian-era design. There are extensive lawns and pathways lined with mature elm trees, plus a framework of garden structures and floral displays.
Star attractions are the historic Cooks' Cottage and the Spanish mission-style Conservatory with its magnificent floral displays.
Other points of interest include a miniature Tudor village, the Fairies’ Tree carved sculpture, myriad fountains and statues, and the Scarred Tree.
The Fitzroy Gardens Visitor Centre provides tourism information and entry tickets to Cooks' Cottage.
